Replace new
cartridge
The indicated toner cartridge has almost reached
its estimated cartridge life. The machine might stop
printing.
Estimated cartridge life means the
expected or estimated toner cartridge
life, which indicates the average capacity
of print-outs and is designed pursuant to
ISO/IEC 19752 (see "Available supplies"
on page 51). The number of pages may
be affected by operating environment,
printing interval, media type, percentage
of image area, and media size. Some
amount of toner may remain in the
cartridge even when replace new
cartridge appears and the machine stops
printing.
• You can choose Stop or Continue as shown on the control panel. If you
select Stop, the printer stops printing and you cannot print any more
without changing the cartridge. If you select Continue, the printer
keeps printing but the printing quality cannot be guaranteed.
• Replace the toner cartridge for the best print quality when this message
appears. Using a cartridge beyond this stage can result in printing
quality issues (see "Replacing the toner cartridge" on page 56).
Samsung does not recommend using non-genuine Samsung
toner cartridge such as refilled or remanufactured. Samsung
cannot guarantee non-genuine Samsung toner cartridge's
quality. Service or repair required as a result of using non-
genuine Samsung toner cartridges will not be covered under the
machine warranty.
• If the machine stops printing, replace the toner cartridge (See
"Replacing the toner cartridge" on page 56).
Prepare new
cartridge
Small amount of toner is left in the indicated
cartridge. The estimated cartridge life of toner is
close. Prepare a new cartridge for a replacement. You may temporarily increase
the printing quality by redistributing the toner (see "Redistributing toner"
on page 54).
